Clinical situations for which 3D printing is considered an appropriate representation or extension of data contained in a medical imaging examination: neurosurgical and otolaryngologic conditions. 3D Print Med 2023; 9:33. [PMID: 38008795 PMCID: PMC10680204 DOI: 10.1186/s41205-023-00192-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 11/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Medical three dimensional (3D) printing is performed for neurosurgical and otolaryngologic conditions, but without evidence-based guidance on clinical appropriateness. A writing group composed of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Special Interest Group on 3D Printing (SIG) provides appropriateness recommendations for neurologic 3D printing conditions. METHODS A structured literature search was conducted to identify all relevant articles using 3D printing technology associated with neurologic and otolaryngologic conditions. Each study was vetted by the authors and strength of evidence was assessed according to published guidelines. RESULTS Evidence-based recommendations for when 3D printing is appropriate are provided for diseases of the calvaria and skull base, brain tumors and cerebrovascular disease. Recommendations are provided in accordance with strength of evidence of publications corresponding to each neurologic condition combined with expert opinion from members of the 3D printing SIG. CONCLUSIONS This consensus guidance document, created by the members of the 3D printing SIG, provides a reference for clinical standards of 3D printing for neurologic conditions.

J Korean Neurosurg Soc 2023; 66:632-641. [PMID: 35831137 PMCID: PMC10641423 DOI: 10.3340/jkns.2021.0213] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2021] [Revised: 10/06/2021] [Accepted: 03/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Central nervous system tumors are identified as tumors of the brain and spinal cord. The associated morbidity and mortality of cerebrospinal tumors are disproportionately high compared to other malignancies. While minimally invasive techniques have initiated a revolution in neurosurgery, artificial intelligence (AI) is expediting it. Our study aims to analyze AI's role in the neurosurgical management of cerebrospinal tumors. We conducted a scoping review using the Arksey and O'Malley framework. Upon screening, data extraction and analysis were focused on exploring all potential implications of AI, classification of these implications in the management of cerebrospinal tumors. AI has enhanced the precision of diagnosis of these tumors, enables surgeons to excise the tumor margins completely, thereby reducing the risk of recurrence, and helps to make a more accurate prediction of the patient's prognosis than the conventional methods. AI also offers real-time training to neurosurgeons using virtual and 3D simulation, thereby increasing their confidence and skills during procedures. In addition, robotics is integrated into neurosurgery and identified to increase patient outcomes by making surgery less invasive. AI, including machine learning, is rigorously considered for its applications in the neurosurgical management of cerebrospinal tumors. This field requires further research focused on areas clinically essential in improving the outcome that is also economically feasible for clinical use. The authors suggest that data analysts and neurosurgeons collaborate to explore the full potential of AI.

Training models and simulators for endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery: a systematic review. Neurosurg Rev 2023; 46:248. [PMID: 37725193 PMCID: PMC10509294 DOI: 10.1007/s10143-023-02149-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Revised: 08/29/2023] [Accepted: 09/02/2023] [Indexed: 09/21/2023]
Abstract
Endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery is a novel surgical technique requiring specific training. Different models and simulators have been recently suggested for it, but no systematic review is available. To provide a systematic and critical literature review and up-to-date description of the training models or simulators dedicated to endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery. A search was performed on PubMed and Scopus databases for articles published until February 2023; Google was also searched to document commercially available. For each model, the following features were recorded: training performed, tumor/arachnoid reproduction, assessment and validation, and cost. Of the 1199 retrieved articles, 101 were included in the final analysis. The described models can be subdivided into 5 major categories: (1) enhanced cadaveric heads; (2) animal models; (3) training artificial solutions, with increasing complexity (from "box-trainers" to multi-material, ct-based models); (4) training simulators, based on virtual or augmented reality; (5) Pre-operative planning models and simulators. Each available training model has specific advantages and limitations. Costs are high for cadaver-based solutions and vary significantly for the other solutions. Cheaper solutions seem useful only for the first stages of training. Most models do not provide a simulation of the sellar tumor, and a realistic simulation of the suprasellar arachnoid. Most artificial models do not provide a realistic and cost-efficient simulation of the most delicate and relatively common phase of surgery, i.e., tumor removal with arachnoid preservation; current research should optimize this to train future neurosurgical generations efficiently and safely.

Creation of low cost, simple, and easy-to-use training kit for the dura mater suturing in endoscopic transnasal pituitary/skull base surgery. Sci Rep 2023; 13:6073. [PMID: 37055468 PMCID: PMC10101945 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-32311-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2022] [Accepted: 03/25/2023] [Indexed: 04/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Training kits for laparoscopes for deep suturing under endoscopes are commercially available; however, previously reported training kits for endoscopic transnasal transsphenoidal pituitary/skull base surgery (eTSS) were not available in the market. Moreover, the previously reported low cost, self-made kit has the drawback of being unrealistic. This study aimed to create a low cost training kit for eTSS dura mater suturing that was as close to real as possible. Most necessary items were obtained from the 100-yen store ($1 store) or from everyday supplies. As an alternative to the endoscope, a stick-type camera was used. Through the assembly of the materials, a simple and easy-to-use training kit was created, which is almost identical to the actual dural suturing situation. In eTSS, a simple and easy-to-use training kit for dural suturing was successfully created at a low cost. This kit is expected to be used for deep suture operations and the development of surgical instruments for training.

A Cost-Effective and Reproducible Cadaveric Training Model for Internal Carotid Artery Injury Management During Endoscopic Endonasal Surgery: The Submersible Peristaltic Pump. World Neurosurg 2023; 171:e355-e362. [PMID: 36513301 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2022.12.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2022] [Revised: 12/04/2022] [Accepted: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Internal carotid artery injury (ICAI) represents one of the most challenging complications in endoscopic endonasal neurosurgery and its rarity results in limited opportunities for trainees and surgeons to achieve proficiency in its management. Currently, available models for ICAI have employed costly systems that prevent their widespread use. The objective of this study is to validate an affordable submersible peristaltic pump (SPP)-based model as a reproducible and realistic paradigm for ICAI management training. METHODS A laceration of the left parasellar internal carotid artery was purposely carried out in 2 human cadaveric heads. A blood substitute was perfused to ensure a perfusion flow of 1 L/min using an affordable SPP. A cohort of 20 neurosurgery and otolaryngology residents, fellows, and attendings were enrolled to evaluate the realism and content validity of the model using a validated 5-grade questionnaire. RESULTS The model proved to mimic a real intraoperative scenario of ICAI with an expected output flow of 1 L/min. Questionnaire responses reported a realistic experience and the impact of this model on improving trainee surgical coordination and capability to rehearse the most accepted repair technique. The use of a fixed noninjected head allowed the reproducibility of the training session without the additional cost of new fresh-frozen heads. The affordable SPP allowed an impactful reduction of ICAI model training expenses maintaining high realism. CONCLUSIONS The SPP-based ICAI model with noninjected cadaveric specimens is an affordable and cost-effective system that allows reproducibility and realism. These qualities favor greater adoption in neurosurgery and otolaryngology training curricula.

Effects of Staged Nursing Care on Neuroendoscopic Transsphenoidal Pituitary Adenoma Resection and Postoperative Complications. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:2171529. [PMID: 35966740 PMCID: PMC9374548 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2171529] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2022] [Revised: 07/01/2022] [Accepted: 07/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
Objective The purpose of this study was to determine whether staged nursing had an impact on the outcome of neuroendoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary tumor resection and postoperative complications. Methods As research participants, we chose 88 individuals with pituitary adenomas who were treated at our institution between February 2020 and November 2021; all patients received endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary adenoma excision. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: the routine group (n = 44) and the stage group (n = 44). Patients in the routine group received care according to the routine nursing mode, and patients in the stage group received care according to the stage nursing mode. The staged nursing interventions included preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative nursing. Postoperative recovery-related indicators such as the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and a self-rating depression scale (SDS), contentment, comfort, and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Results The postoperative recovery-related indexes of patients in the stage group were significantly lower than those in the routine group (P < 0.05); the SAS and SDS scores in the stage group after treatment were significantly lower than those in the routine group (P < 0.05); patients in the stage group were significantly more satisfied with their treatment after treatment than those in the routine group (P < 0.05); patients in the stage group were significantly more comfortable after treatment than those in the routine group (P < 0.05); a significantly lower incidence of postoperative complications was observed in the stage group compared to the routine group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Patients with neuroendoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary tumor excision benefit greatly from staged nursing. The nursing approach may successfully assure the procedure's smooth completion, boost patients' postoperative recovery, and reduce patients' worry, despair, and other unpleasant feelings. The nursing approach may successfully increase clinical satisfaction and comfort of patients by minimizing the likelihood of postoperative problems, and it is well-suited for practical use.

Abstract
Spatial insight into intracranial pathology and structure is important for neurosurgeons to perform safe and successful surgeries. Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology in the medical field has made it possible to produce intuitive models that can help with spatial perception. Recent advances in 3D-printed disease models have removed barriers to entering the clinical field and medical market, such as precision and texture reality, speed of production, and cost. The 3D-printed disease model is now ready to be actively applied to daily clinical practice in neurosurgical planning, simulation, and training. In this review, the development of 3D-printed neurosurgical disease models and their application are summarized and discussed.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a technique where the products are printed layer-by-layer via a series of cross-sectional slices with the exact deposition of different cell types and biomaterials based on computer-aided design software. Three-dimensional printing can be divided into several approaches, such as extrusion-based printing, laser-induced forward transfer-based printing systems, and so on. Bio-ink is a crucial tool necessary for the fabrication of the 3D construct of living tissue in order to mimic the native tissue/cells using 3D printing technology. The formation of 3D software helps in the development of novel drug delivery systems with drug screening potential, as well as 3D constructs of tumor models. Additionally, several complex structures of inner tissues like stroma and channels of different sizes are printed through 3D printing techniques. Three-dimensional printing technology could also be used to develop therapy training simulators for educational purposes so that learners can practice complex surgical procedures. The fabrication of implantable medical devices using 3D printing technology with less risk of infections is receiving increased attention recently. A Cancer-on-a-chip is a microfluidic device that recreates tumor physiology and allows for a continuous supply of nutrients or therapeutic compounds. In this review, based on the recent literature, we have discussed various printing methods for 3D printing and types of bio-inks, and provided information on how 3D printing plays a crucial role in cancer management.
